Hotel
The best thing about hosting a wedding on Derby weekend in North Carolina is the fact there is room availability. Because well... we are simply not in Kentucky. The discount code is already included in the price when you click the link. Discounted rates through the "Thornhill-Cresswell Block" will close on Tuesday April 2, 2024. If you call to book your room, ask for Carrie Deal and ask for the “Thornhill-Cresswell Wedding” discounted rate.
Flight
North Carolina has a ton of airports, but Greensboro is definitely the easiest for domestic flights and is only a short car ride from all hotel and rental suggestions.
Flight
The RDU airport is located 65 minutes from the Wedding Venue and recommended accommodations. For all our favorite Kentucky friends traveling during our sacred holiday, The Derby, please note the RDU airport offers both Southwest and Delta flights. As you know - this matters during Derby Weekend. Thanks for betting on us this weekend, may the flight odds be ever in your favor.
Flight
No one is really sure if it's the constant construction or the fact that there is not a train at the CLT airport (which will make you feel like you are walking 30 days and 30 nights to hit your connecting flight) but flying into Charlotte may make you feel like you have a terminal illness. (See what we did there?) All jokes aside, Charlotte is truly a valid airport option and is located less than 90 minutes from the venue and our recommended hotel. However, if you are flying into Charlotte on the day of the ceremony you should absolutely account for traffic.
